Make sure your next race is your best with the programs in Triathlon Training. Choose from six race specific programs: two for sprint distances, two for Olympic distances, one for the half Ironman, and one for the Ironman. The sprint and Olympic programs include target race times, so you can choose the program best suited to your training and ability level. Technique instruction and training drills for the swim, bike, and run will shave time off each phase of your performance. Recommendations for equipment, nutrition, and supplements give you the support for training and performing at the highest level. And, because injuries are prevalent in the sport, Triathlon Training advises how to prevent the most common triathlon injuries and prescribes treatment and recovery measures for various injuries. Developed in consultation with USA Triathlon and the British Triathlon Association, Triathlon Training will improve your performance and enjoyment in the sport.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book about triathlons
Comment: I am new to triathlons but have been an avid runner for years. This book thoroughly describes how to become a triathlete. It has detailed training plans for anyone from a beginner to an experienced triathlete. I can see myself using this book for years to come.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for the very beginner interested in testing themselves
Comment: The book breaks down tough terms and products with recommendations on the best overall gear to use during the race. The fitness plans forced me to take a serious look at my swimming endurance. I can run and bike but the book helped me train my way into this critical portion of the race.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Belongs on the coffee table...
Comment: The best *looking*, but far from best, book I've found on triathlons. Its heavy, glossy pages with full-color photos make it very appealing on the surface, but sadly it lacks any depth. It offers cursory explanations of various aspects of the sport, and sprinkles in a little bit of good advice here and there, but that's about it as far as content goes. It fails to include some crucial aspects of training - such as weight training - completely!
In the end, this book is ultimately better suited for your coffee table than your bookshelf. Complete newcomers to triathlons may get a little out of it, but I think anyone seriously interested in the sport would be better off reading The Triathlete's Training Bible by Joe Friel.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Insider tips are most helpful
Comment: This textbook has been edited concisely and is loaded with excellent drawings and pictures which illustrate most of the points the author wants to get across. Though the book is not all encompassing, it has numerous pearls of wisdom that only a personal discussion with a world class triathelete could come close to matching (and even then it would not be quite as productive). Many times reading this textbook I got the feeling that the author was sitting next to me and giving me practical tips which I have now applied and have improved my times dramatically. It would take a lifetime to accumulate the experience that Michael Finch presents in a concise, clear format. I would most highly reccomend this book at all levels, but particularly in your first two to three years of triathalons.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Children's Big Picture Book of Triathlon
Comment: This is too basic to be helpful. The author admits taking most of the training plans published from popular web sites where they are published. It spends sentences describing what other books spend chapters on. I recommend Triathlon 101 for beginners/intermediates and The Triathlete's Training Bible for experts/intermediates. Great pictures though (reason I gave it two stars instead of only one)?!?
